What happens when we&#8217;re exposed to other ways of thinking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Limitless Mind<\/em>, published in 2019, Jo Boaler explains how neuroscience research has overturned our age-old beliefs about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-people-learn\/\">how learning works<\/a>. Based on what we now know, she says that we must foster true collaboration so that students are exposed to many ways of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more to discover the benefits of collaborative learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-benefits-of-collaborative-learning\">The Benefits of Collaborative Learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One element that Boaler highlights as essential to improved learning is to increase the level of collaboration among students. She discusses the various benefits of collaborative learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning is enhanced when multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-are-the-regions-of-the-brain\/\">regions of the brain<\/a> are involved in processing information and solving problems. <strong>Group work activates the social networking centers of the brain<\/strong> and gets them involved in the knowledge-building process. It also allows students to see how <em>other <\/em>students think, which promotes the growth of even more neural pathways as they incorporate and mimic the thought processes of their peers while also finding flaws in their own ways of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: One specific brain component that would be activated in the group work Boaler discusses are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/monitor\/oct05\/mirror\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mirror neurons\u2014nerves that fire when you witness someone else\u2019s emotions or actions<\/a>, mimicking the other person\u2019s experience in your own mind. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-whole-brain-child\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Whole-Brain Child<\/em><\/a>, Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson argue that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/empathy-neurons\/\">mirror neurons<\/a> use interactions with other people <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-whole-brain-child\/chapter-6#humans-are-wired-to-connect-with-others\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to form new neural connections in your brain<\/a>. While Siegel and Bryson primarily look at how mirror neurons help children develop empathy, other studies show that <a href=\"http:\/\/grantland.com\/features\/this-your-brain-sports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mirror neurons can help an observer mentally model physical skills<\/a>, such as those of athletes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collaboration has another benefit\u2014it lets students know they\u2019re not alone in their struggles. Boaler says that because of current teaching methods, in which the teacher instructs and students work on their own, most students aren\u2019t aware of the difficulties their classmates go through and falsely assume they\u2019re the only ones with problems. By finding out about their teammates\u2019 different approaches, students learn that if they\u2019re stuck on a problem, there are always different angles from which to solve it. <strong>Collaboration builds a foundation for success by letting students know that it\u2019s all right to ask for help<\/strong> while reducing the sense of isolation that leads many people to give up on their education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In a culture that prizes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/maturity-continuum-7-habits\/\">independence<\/a> and self-reliance, Boaler\u2019s suggestion to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/asking-people-for-help\/\">ask others for help<\/a> and rely on a community for support might not come easily. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandcentralpublishing.com\/titles\/amanda-palmer\/the-art-of-asking\/9781455581085\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Art of Asking<\/em><\/a>, musician Amanda Palmer says that asking for help shouldn\u2019t be one-sided\u2014supportive, collaborative relationships are <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/xMj_P_6H69g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reciprocal in nature and based on mutual respect<\/a>. Such collaborations also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-build-a-community\/\">build communities<\/a>, such as that between Palmer and the fans of her music or the networks between teachers and students in Boaler\u2019s classrooms.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do our brains work differently when working with others?
